Q: Who is the Audix OM7 Hypercardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone designed for?

The Audix OM7 is ideal for professional vocalists performing on loud stages where feedback is a concern. Its hypercardioid polar pattern provides exceptional off-axis rejection, isolating your voice from instruments and stage monitors. This design allows for very high gain before feedback, ensuring your vocals cut through the mix clearly, even in demanding live environments.

Q: What makes the Audix OM7's sound unique for vocals?

The OM7 delivers a clear, detailed, and articulate vocal sound, designed to stand out in a dense mix. Its wide frequency response captures the nuances of your voice, while its controlled proximity effect helps maintain clarity up close. This microphone is engineered to provide studio-quality sound in a live setting, making your vocals sound polished and present.

Q: Why does the Audix OM7 have a lower output level compared to other microphones?

The OM7's intentionally lower output is a key design feature for achieving maximum gain before feedback on extremely loud stages. This allows sound engineers to push the microphone harder without unwanted squeals. To get the best performance, it's recommended to pair the OM7 with a high-quality microphone preamp that can provide ample clean gain.

Need additional help?

Q: Does the Audix OM7 require phantom power to operate?

No, the Audix OM7 is a dynamic microphone and does not require phantom power. It operates passively, drawing all its necessary power from the sound waves it captures. Simply connect it to any mixer or audio interface with an XLR input, and you're ready to go.

Was having issues with feedback on stage while using my SM58 with my vocoder.

This mic has solved the issue.

You do need to enunciate more clearly and speak/sing a little louder but it's manageable.

Ive been wanting to get this mic for a while now and Its better than expected. In the past I have used 50s style Shure mics because I liked the vibe, but those mics like to feedback if not placed exactly in a sweet spot which can be hard to find on a small stage or rehearsal room. I Play guitar and sing and I tend to get right on the mic, so the tight pattern this mic has works great for me. Also you don't have to be right on the mic, you just need to be in front of the the proper spot and then you can back off a bit , just don't drift right/ left or up/down.
There's no need for an on/off switch because this mic just doesn't feed back, even when I walk away for beak and have the PA still blasting music.
Of course if you point it at a speaker or something it might feed back, just don't be an idiot and you're good to go.

Read the reviews, watched the videos and ordered an Audix OM7. Upon arrival I tested the mike alongside my old SM58 and a new Beta 58A for comparison. To my surprise, all of the claims in the reviews are correct. My testing was under horrible conditions (literally on top of a pair of Headrush FRFR-108s), it was difficult to get the Audix to a feedback state compared to the 58s (thus feedback = OM7 SM58). The off-axis rejection from the Audix was striking compared to both the 58s. Output of the Audix OM7 will require more gain at the mixer.
Mikes tend to be a personal choice for each singer. For myself, the natural tone of the Audix OM7 is perfect, this mike will require some discipline with respect to positioning (move slightly to the side and you will rapidly fade out !) but given the tone and feedback rejection it will be my mike of choice. Probably not as robust as the 58s so take a little extra care. Sorry Beta 58A you are now the back-up mike.............

I've had this mic for 2 years. I've played an honest 150 gigs with it. This mic is the cleanest, most feedback resistant mic that I have ever used!
I play through an L1, so it's set up right behind me... ZERO feedback EVER.
This has seen war playing at beach bars, weddings, and outdoor dining... sometimes in the same day. I have dropped it, stuffed it into my gig bag, banged it silly.... it's a freakin' champ!
The price is way too low for the perfect microphone.

I was looking for a vocal mic that rejected as much stage sound as possible, as I multi track my bands performances. The off axis rejection is fantastic and the dB drop beyond 6 inches is huge. You have to stay right up on the mic, but it really does what it claims to do!

Getting the most for the money isn't just a big deal for our customers, it's also what the artists and engineers at Sweetwater look for when we're shopping for our own gear. That's why we're such fans of Audix microphones. Early on, we discovered must-have Audix mics such as the handheld OM2, the tight and punchy D6 kick mic, and the super-versatile i5. You'll also find Audix specialty hardware like CabGrabbers and D-Vice mic holders in our studios and live rigs. Their drum mic bundles offer amazing value, while our house of worship customers love their MicroBoom line for miking choirs. No matter the application, Sweetwater is happy to recommend the right Audix gear for your needs.
